Services are all basically a proxy for the physical world though. Other than things like art and media that people value for their own sake.

Google and Facebook?
I'm not entirely sure what your question is - are you asking how Google/Facebook are proxies for physical thing?
Google, at its core, provides a service that helps you do physical things more quickly. If I need to replace the cruise control buttons on my car, I could go to the library and source a manual, or I could just search Google.
Facebook marketplace increases the efficiency of trading physical goods.
The Facebook feed is probably most akin to cigarettes.
